<p>so THIS is what it’s like, eh?!</p>
<p>My D was planning on staying the week but, after talking with friends, decided to come home midweek. Flights were way too expensive on Wed so she will be heading home Thurs. Glad she is coming home as I wanted to see her before May and its cheaper to fly her home than for my husband and me to fly to NOLA to see her in April.</p>
<p>S2 did not come home even once for a spring break in four years. He is headed to Colorado for a ski trip the day after Mardi Gras this year.</p>
<p>This is exciting to see everyone here. It has been a while since I checked in. Seems like it was just yesterday that while some were still anxiously awaiting an acceptance letter, we were all rushing to do our taxes and FAFSA. We were getting ready for orientation or, for those so committed to Tulane, move in plans were in the works. Now it’s Mardi Gras and spring break or Jazz Fest and move out. This is so much more relaxing.
With so many options, my D’s plan evolved into staying for Mardi Gras then flying out to see her mom.</p>
